When a failure occurs the controller exits the RUN mode and goes to the FAILURE mode and displays
the failure message. The alarm will sound and remain on until it is silenced by the user. The Info key can
be pressed to silence the alarm. Once the alarm is silenced it can be reset by pressing the Info key and
then the Stop key. This returns the controller to the OFF mode.
The failure is recorded in the event log accessible from the Basic Menu.
4.10 WARNINGS AND FAILURES (CONT’D)
When the generator is started and load is detected on the generator when the WaveNet is in the RUN
mode the “Genset Online” LED on the WaveNet front panel will turn green. This indicates that the gen-
erator is supply load as normal. If load is detected on the generator when it is not in the RUN mode (e.g.
the WaveNet is cranking, preheating, etc.) the WaveNet terminates starting and enters the FAILURE
mode and the “Genset Online” LED on the WaveNet front panel will turn red.
The generator is considered loaded when either the AC current is equal to or greater than 5% of full load
current.
The WaveNet incorporates an Advanced Setup menu. Only advanced and knowledgeable users should
change these parameters.
